Saints off road sells a skid for the harbor freight 2 ton. I have used mine several times helping people change flats when I traveled around Texas.
What type of "JACK" would you prefer on the trail?

Yea, I may have the DXF at work still. I'll have to check. I could burn more but I have to be super careful. Big brother is always watching........ He makes Adolf look like a choir boy when he is on a warpath.

OEM vs Hi-Jack?
Hey all. Best 1600 miles of my life so far on my truck, but after getting about 20 miles into the back country outside SLC, UT last night I thought...I wonder how the OEM jack would perform out here? How many of you guys using a hi-jack or similar? Does it fit under the rear seat? I was thinking of buying a Tuffy underseat lock box, but am betting the high jack is too long for that. Any other options? Or is the OEM up to *****?

Thanks. I searched hi-jack but got lots of threads. Should have used the title only I guess..
You dont want either of them. Those hi-lift jacks are downright deadly on uneven surfaces combined with no real jack points for it on the Raptor. The OEM jack will just sink into the dirt.
You should consider a 2 ton floor jack with a skid plate. It distributes the weight equally over the base area and will not sink. Very sturdy so no worries about a tip over like a hi-lift. Also there are options that allow you to secure it safely in the bed. Krazy House Customs (FRF Vendor) makes/sells a skid and holder combo and I would highly recommend. The jack (sold separately) is from Harbor Freight and bolts right to the skid once you remove the wheels. The skids are made specifically for the Harbor Frieght 2 ton jack.

Looks good. I'm not doing a lot of rock crawling and have been reading up on the hi-jack and I don't think it's what I'll be needing. The skid plate set-up will be perfect for the relatively level fast stuff my truck sees. I'll can't seem to find Crazy House in the members list. Anyone used that inflating monstrosity? It looks....amusing.
